DUAL MONARCHY

Source: Based on information from C.A. Macartney, Hungary: A
Short History, Chicago, 1962, 172.

The Compromise of 1867, which created the Dual
Monarchy, gave
the Hungarian government more control of its domestic
affairs
than it had possessed at any time since the Battle of
Mohacs
(see
fig. 4). However, the new government faced severe economic
problems and the growing restiveness of ethnic minorities.
World
War I led to the disintegration of Austria-Hungary, and in
the
aftermath of the war, a series of governments--including a
communist regime--assumed power in Buda and Pest (in 1872
the
cities of Buda and Pest united to become Budapest).
